RE: Freewest Resources FWR TSX.V
Dear Sir, Madam:


We are a large group of FWR shareholders who have recently formed The FWR Fair Offer Movement also known and herein referred to as FFOM.


We come before you and request that you redress the following two complaints:


1/ We have not been provided, with an independent valuation of our companies assets in a timely manner, rendering us unable to make a proper decision as to their disposition.


2/ The company attempting to acquire FREEWEST, has in violation of a “HOLD STILL” period, acquired substantial shares to vote in their own interest.








WE THEREFORE REQUEST THE QUEBEC SECURITIES COMMISION DECREE THE FOLLOWING:


1/ Provide that an independent valuation of shares, in the form of a NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-10 be in the hands of all shareholders a minimum of 30 days before any voting can be tallied or decision to dispose be arrived at thru a vote of said shareholders.


2/ Prohibit the voting of any FREEWEST shares acquired by CLIFFS
their partners, officers of allies AFTER November 22, 2009


Specifying the procedures and conditions above will allow a free and fair vote equitable to all parties, bestowing no unfair advantage upon either.


Pursuant to discovery of a world class, possibly the largest and purest deposit of chrome ore in the world, we have requested and been denied
a through and independent evaluation of this deposit, in spite of two competing offers by other companies for FREEWEST Resources.
We believe that fair play requires we have this submitted for our use long before we are required to make a decision upon the disposition this deposit and possibly the entire company


This deposit is described by Ont. Minister Grazelle, as not only World Class, but also comparable in value to the Sudbury deposits, in terms what richness and jobs and development they will bring to Northern West Ontario. By Cliffs own calculations, they advertised that they would add $1.5 Billions dollars$$ per year to their bottom line sales, between 50 and 100 years.


OUR FURTHER COMPLIANT IS THAT Cliffs “ did improperly and likely unlawfully exercise 6.9 Million shares on Dec 11/2009 at a price of 60 cents,
In light of the HudBay Minerals VS. Lundin Mining, acquiring or exercisingwarrants to acquire AFTER an offer, friendly or hostile, during a HOLD STILL period then in effect, is in fact, wrong and illegal, according to the HudBay precedent.


The facts are that this occurred AFTER CLIFFS made an offer to FWR of 90 cents,and therefore have “hold” period to Mar 30, 2010…Also on December 01/2009, Cliffs also was awarded/exercised an additional 7, 375,000 shares of FWR at 45 cents, and therefore it has the same “hold’ period.. Since no funds not already in FREEWEST's treasury have been spent on ”proving up” more discoveries in FWR properties, we see the only pointof that placement as giving CLIFFS more share to vote upon acquisition on of FREEWEST. WE know they sent 400 assays for PGEs, we know they drilled and found Ni CU Pges but not a single word about all these new findings….The vote on said Cliffs offer is scheduled for Jan 25, 2010., and they will vote those 14 + million shares for their own interest.


Therefore our complaint is that Management of FWR is withholding very important information about our “true value” and that certainly cannot stand…Their first duty is to FREEWEST SHAREHOLDER.




The second Complaint as outlined above deals with the voting rights of these very recently acquired 14, 483 millions of shares…which as outlined below in FWR News Releases have a hold period until March 2010. But more importantly, the law has now been established in the Matter of Hudbay minerals copied below,with regards to these cases . .
that HudBay has agreed to vote the 19.9% of the common shares of Lundin acquired by it pursuant to the private placement, in favour of the Transaction. In our view, HudBay has a different, and potentially conflicting, interest in the outcome of that vote, relative to the other Lundin shareholders. In our view, having acquired those shares as part of a private placement connected to the Transaction, HudBay should not, as a matter of principle, be permitted to vote them in favour of the Transaction.”
In the same way in this case Cliffs has potentially conflicting interest in the outcome of this Cliffs vote, relative to other long time FWR shareholders, since on average only paid less than 50 cents for these new shares, on a private placement directly connected to this transaction…In this Cliffs should NOT be allowed , as a matter of principle , should not be allowed to vote these shares in favor of their agreement with FWR.


Unlike HudBay, we are raising this Cliffs “voting shares” issue now, so as to inform the Courts that we are totally against this so called agreement with Cliffs, and that we strenuously oppose Cliffs voting said 14 Million plus shares for their own Offer, in which we FWR shareholders had absolutely NO say .


Sincerely, 
STOCKHOLDERS For a FAIR OFFER, of

FREEWEST RESOURCES of CANADA Inc.

Freewest Announces Exercise Of Warrants By Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.

  • Freewest to issue 7,375,000 shares to Cliffs at a price of
    .45 per share, for proceeds to Freewest of $3,318,750
Montreal, Québec, December 1, 2009 – Freewest Resources Canada Inc. (FWR: TSX-V) announces that it has been notified by Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (NYSE: CLF; Paris: CLF) that Cliffs intends to exercise all of its 7,375,000 Freewest warrants at a price of

Upon the exercise of the warrants, to Freewest’s knowledge, Cliffs will indirectly hold 29,033,440 Freewest shares, representing approximately 12.65% of the 229,508,479 shares that will be issued and outstanding.
About Freewest
Freewest is a mineral exploration company actively exploring for gold, base-metals and chromite within eastern Canada. Corporate information can be accessed on the Internet at www.freewest.com. Freewest’s shares are listed on Tier 1 of the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbolHere is a simple way to calculate FWR value is:

1. Total Chromite tons...I have submitted that in total that FWR's, Black Thorto the 1000M level will have 250 Million Tons, Black Label will have 125 Million Tons also to 1000m, and 40% of BIG Daddy, to 1000M, 60 Million Tons,

For a Grand total of 435 Million tons of High Grade Chromite


Now of course this is my conservative estimation from the known Geology and only to a depth of only1000M, We all know that some deposits at ROF go much deeper like 2000 or 3000 meters...
Now if we take again conservatively , a total Tons of 250 Million altogether. , we want to be "reasonable" after all, we know that from CLIFFS own numbers they advertised that it would take 2 Milliion Tons of Chromite, to make about 1 Million tons of Ferro Chrome....

SO 250 mIllion divided by 2 equals 125 Million tons of Ferro Chromw....Now let's use a conservative price for this Ferro Chromeat 1$, or $2000.00 a Ton...SO 125 Million Tonsx $2000.00 equals $250,000,000,000.00 or
$250 Billion Dollars...These numbers are all derived from Cliffs, The Total Tons is much underatted, in order to be "reasonable....So any way you count it we FWR are worth $250, Billions Dollars...Given a simple 10% in situe, will mean $25 Billion Dollars=10% in situ....., now this $25 Billions divided by 200 MIllion shares of FWR, Cliffs shares don't count, comes to $125 dollars per share...So now we can see the true value of FWR just on 10% in situe value....this 10% in Situe is the average calculated figure in the Mining "
business'.

Now of course we can be even more reasonable and only request half of that or 5%in situe value which will be $62.50...Again $62.50, with just paying us 5% in situe value for Tonnage....Now also remember this amount does NOT include all other FWR assets, cash stocks owned, or other richest found in said calims, like MMS NiCU, and of course all the PGEs....

Letter to Quebec Securities Commision

This is a letter you may reproduce to send to the QSC as an individuals, which will go a long way to establish how the individual shareholders are feeling and what they think is RIGHT.   According to the HudBay case, it has been established by precedent that letting CLIFFS vote the PP shares and shares acquired by warrants
after their offer is simply WRONG, Wrong, wrong and should be disallowed.

RE: Freewest Resources FWR TSX.V
Dear Sir, Madam:
We are a large group of FWR shareholders who have recently formed The FWR Fair Offer Movement also known and herein referred to as FFOM.
FWR has recently discovered new MAJOR Chromite World Class Deposits in their claims at the “ring of Fire” .These deposits have an estimated value conservative speaking, of $250 Billions dollars and a lifetime of about 100 years of mining 2 to3 Million tons of Higher grade Chromite per year. No one has done an official, formal valuation or appraisals of all FWR assets, even their CIBC advisers state on P3C, Proxy Circular…
“ we have not been asked to prepare, and have not prepared a formal valuation or appraisal of any of the assets or securities of the company (FWR). FWR is refusing to deliver to us shareholder, a full NI43-101, which they promised would arrive before Xmas/09. FWR stopped all work and drilling on said properties, for the sole purpose to deny shareholders and potential other bidders, of this vital information/data, so that the Markets could “value” FWR on it’s true World Class Chromite Deposits, described by Ont. Minister Grazelle, as not only World Class, and also comparing these deposits in value to the Sudbury deposits, in terms what richness and jobs and development they will bring to Northern West Ontario. By Cliffs own calculations, they advertised that they would add $1.5 Billions dollars$$ per year to their bottom line sales, between 50 and 100 years. This is how rich these deposits really are…I have attached below, 2 Newspaper articles by Cliffs to this effect.
OUR Complaint is two fold….Cliffs “improperly and likely unlawfully exercised 6.9 Million shares on Dec 11/2009 at a price of 60 cents, this is after they had an offer to FWR of 90 cents, these have a “hold” period to Mar 30, 2010…Also on December 01/2009, Cliffs also was awarded/excersised an additional 7, 375,000 shares of FWR at 45 cents, WE presume it has the same “hold’ period.. NOT one penny of these funds have been spent on ”proving up” more discoveries in FWR properties. WE know they sent 400 assays for PGEs, wew know they drilled and found Ni CU Pges but not a single word about all these new findings….The vote on said Cliffs offer is scheduled for Jan 25, 2010., and they intend to vote those 14 + million shares for their offer.
Our first complaint is that Management of FWR are deliberately withholding very important information about our “true value” and that certainly cannot stand…Their first duty is to the interest of shareholders, and not Cliffs. We were not at all consulted about any of the so called “agreements/obligations” to Cliffs…
Cliffs has made what we consider a puny offer of $200 Millions not in cash, but in Cliffs stock, which works out to $1 in Cliff stock….WE nearly believe this offer is outrageous, when considering the true value of FWR, a short note on it’s value is attached below. Conservatively FWR is worth $250 Billions, so IF we take a 10% in situ value, as is common in the industry, then FWR is worth 25$ Billions$ and not the $200 Million Cliffs is offering.
The second Complaint deals with the voting rights of these very recently acquired 14, 483 millions of shares…which as outlined below in FWR News Releases have a hold period until March 2010. But more importantly, the law has now been established in the Matter of Hudbay minerals copied bleow,with regards to these cases . .
“that HudBay has agreed to vote the 19.9% of the common shares of Lundin acquired by it pursuant to the private placement, in favour of the Transaction. In our view, HudBay has a different, and potentially conflicting, interest in the outcome of that vote, relative to the other Lundin shareholders. In our view, having acquired those shares as part of a private placement connected to the Transaction, HudBay should not, as a matter of principle, be permitted to vote them in favour of the Transaction.”
In the same way in this case Cliffs has potentially conflicting interest in the outcome of this Cliffs vote, relative to other long time FWR shareholders, since on average only paid less than 50 cents for these new shares, on a private placement directly connected to this transaction…In this Cliffs should NOT be allowed , as a matter of principle , should not be allowed to vote these shares in favor of their agreement with FWR, and the puny offer of $1 in Cliff stock.
Unlike HudBay, we are raising this Cliffs “voting shares” issue now, so as to inform the Courts that we are totally against this so called agreement with Cliffs, and that we strenuously oppose Cliffs voting said 14 Million plus shares for their own Offer, in which we FWR shareholders had absolutely NO say in it at all.


DECISION OF THE ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF HUDBAY MINERALS INC.
AND
IN THE MATTER OF A DECISION OF
THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE


F. Additional Comment: HudBay Voting of Lundin Common Shares
[49] As an additional comment, we note that HudBay has agreed to vote the 19.9% of the common shares of Lundin acquired by it pursuant to the private placement, in favour of the Transaction. In our view, HudBay has a different, and potentially conflicting, interest in the outcome of that vote, relative to the other Lundin shareholders. In our view, having acquired those shares as part of a private placement connected to the Transaction, HudBay should not, as a matter of principle, be permitted to vote them in favour of the Transaction.
[50] We recognize in expressing this view that it is probably a foregone conclusion that the Lundin shareholders will approve the Transaction regardless of whether HudBay votes those shares. This issue was not raised in the Application and, accordingly, was not addressed by any of the parties in their submissions. We are not making any order or determination based on this matter; we are simply expressing our view.

Just a little summary


Lets see.  Who is on FIRST ?  Well FREEWEST RESOURCES of CANADA INC had been.

  Then it seemed like Noront Resources. 

Then CLIFFS Natural Resources.

 Today I think that baserunner is the FREEWEST
FAIR OFFER MOVEMENT.

  We can use just the BLACK THOR Deposit, but we also recognize that Black Label,
and Big Daddy are also going to play important roles in this genesis.

BLACK THOR itself is over TWO and a HALF Kilometers LONG. ONE point SIX Miles LONG
Open at Strike and Depth for 2.6 Kilometers.
BLACK THOR Alone.   The assessment of Black Thor uses a 400 meter depth, yet the deposit is thought to exist to 900 meters,
Again, BLACK THOR alone.  BLACK LABEL has been estimated by FREEWEST RESOURCES of CANADA INC, to contain about 70% as much CHROME ORE TONNAGE as BLACK  THOR, so totaling those estimates is best left to your imagination, as the size of this deposit is mind-boggling.  Again, Black Label is open at strike and length, which leaves us with an unknown amount of chrome ore.

    According to the Company, 50 of the 54 holes hit significant chromite condentrations, hardly ever found in mining history a 93% hit ratio.  Read the company literature from the links and it becomes even more convincing that this particular ore body, in this writer's opinion is, historic, and will ouflank even Voisey's Bay in regard of economic value to Canada.

   None of  this addresses the companies other geological or investment holdings, which, in savvy opinion of the stockholders, hold great value.
   Befitting a Sherlock Holmes story, this will play out.  Diamonds, Gold, Platinum, PGE's, PGM's, Copper, Nickel, all in the Ring of Fire.  KWG, PRB, FNC, SPQ, all now shakers and movers, from very small explorers, a huge pit mine possible, a Rail Road courtesy of Canada Chrome Corp.  Its all here.
